Desenzano In Mantova

Our first holiday to Italy - first to Lake Garda, first to Desenzano- definitely won't be the last - we loved it ! Our new favourite place. We thought Italy would have been expensive but compared to the UK it was cheaper - roughly between 8-12euros for pizzas/ pasta , and between 4-7 euros for wine /beer/ aperols. Loved Desenzano as a base - we visited Venice for the day which was 24euros each return on the train. Also visited Sirmione on the ferry which was 6 euros each return , and it is stunning. Pescheira was nice too - very pretty. Would highly recommend!
